BRUSH HANDLE.

Application filed Qctober 8, 1923.

To all whom n may concern.'

Be it known that We, HENRY Cava and CHAUNCEY P. MANNING, each a citizen oit the United States, and a resident ot' Hart- 5 tord, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented new and linproved Brush Handles, o which the following is a specication.

Our invention relates to devices above t named, and an object ot our invention,

l against movement on the stem.

One form oit device embodying our invention and in the construction and use of which the objects herein set out7 as well as others, may be attained, is illustrated in the accom- ?9 panying drawings, in Which Figure 1 1s a. view in central lengthwise section through a` handle shown as secured to the stein ot' a brush in accordance with our invention.

Figure 2 is an end view ot the structure looking toward the outer end of the handle.

Figure 3 is a view in cross section on a. plane denoted by the dotted line 8-3 ot Figure 1.

if" ln the accompanying dra-Wings the numeral 5 denotes a portion of a brush having the brush` material secured to a. core 6 by a tuf'isting operation imparted to the Wires comprising said core, this being a common way of forming brush structures. The twisted core 6 is intended to form a shank or stein 7 to which the handle 8 is secured..

ln adapting our invention to this structure one ot the strands 9 ot the stein is cut i ott at a distance Afrom the outer end of the @U 14 in the end of the handle.

In assembling the structure the stem is driven into a hole formed through the handle, the inner portion 15 ot this hole Serial No. 667,206.

being of a size to quite closely fit the stem and the outer portion 16 of the hole being ot a size to quite closely it that part of the strand 10 projecting` beyond the end of the other strand 9. A key-Wray 17 opens out of the hole 15, and this key-Way may be formed, it' desired, in the operation of forcing the stein of the brush through the handle, the lug or key 11, in such operation, cutting its Way along the wall of the hole and thus 'forming the key-Way 17.

lVhen t-he stem has been forced into the handle to a suliicient degree so that the outer end oit` the strand 10 projects to a` proper' distance beyond the end of t-he handle, said projecting end is then bent to form the loop 12, in which bending operation the end 13 is forced backwardly into the socket 14.

lt will be seen that by the use of our invention a simple and effective way for securing the handle to the stem of the brush is obtained and in such a structure the stem will be held from turning movement by means of the key or lug 7 acting in connection with the end 13 in the socket 14. The handle will also be secured against lengthwise ino-vement on the stern and a. loop, by means of which the brush may be suspended from a hook or nail, is obtained as a result of the construction.

In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes We have described the principles of operation of our invention, together with the device which We now consider to represent the best embodiment thereof; but we desire to have it understood that the device shown is only illustrative and that the invention may be carried out by such other means as tall Within the scope of the following claim.

A brush structure including a brush having a stein formed ot twisted strands of Wire, and a handle into which said stem projects, one ot' said strands terminating Within the handle and having its end projected laterally to form a key located in a key-Way extending longitudinally of the handle and opening out of the hole for the stein in said handle HENRY CAVE.
